If you read the two threads, you'll see that the two are VERY different. Furthermore, the people behind this thread are NOT the people working on the mod, so asking questions about the mod in here is not only off-topic, but an exercise in futility.

Gee... something that acts as an opposite to flint and steel. hrmm.. whatEVER could THAT be? Lets see, flint and steel creates fire when you right click on a block. I guess we need something gets RID of fire when you right click on a block. Oh golly gee, I think I've figured out what does that already; A BUCKET OF WATER!

No. What is wrong with people's creativity that the closest thing to an idea they can come up with is "Aether is opposite of Nether, so all blocks should be opposite of all other blocks!"
Gee, Netherrack is red, so blocks in the Aether should be GREEN! and since light travels further in the Nether, Light should actually travel shorter in the Aether, and since you can breathe in the Nether, you should constantly suffocate while in the Aether, and since gravity points down in the Nether, gravity should point up in hte Aether!

First of all, when it comes to minecraft, water and fire aren't quite opposite. Lava's more opposite really, but since there isn't really a true fire counterpart, you're right on that one.

Secondly, on the blocks, my suggestion is actually reasonable. The difference between those analyses is that they are completely ridiculous. Honestly, it's not that terrible of an idea, and it works. My logic is that you need to encourage people to go to both realms, both with equally valuable resources that can be only found there. And what's so wrong galestone and flowvein being crafted? And with the darkgem, it's there because the Aether is too bright. The nether dealt with being too dark by having fire, lava, and glowstone. The Aether has night and caves. Darkgem could help with the brightness, since I don't want my house in the middle of a floating island to be blinding light inside, and a don't want to get rid of the windows. And having a block with the properties of Aetherrock in the nether would make it more dangerous, which is good, considering the fact that there nether is pretty much the safest place you can go as of now. Combine it with the New Nether ideas and then people would die more often.

Because Lightstone is so much easier to craft now, you should make "Holy Stone" made from,obviously, "Holy Dust" compiled of either four Gold Ingots with one Lightstone block in the center, one Gold Block surrounded by eight Lightstone Dust, or one Diamond surrounded by eight Lightstone dust.

It would be... this is a suggestion for the core game - why wouldn't it be in multiplayer?

If anything, this will become a craft bukkit plugin, which would be brilliant. But I really think Notch should give up on the sky lands, hire these folks and buy the Aether, it's amazing.

If you re-post an idea I will yell at you, If you suggest guns I will yell at you, If you suggest space travel wid dimonds fur balanse I will yell at you, If you suggest cars I will yell at you, If your avatar is a creeper I will yell at you.

Btw i have been playing minecraft since 0.0.9a which was before infdev... Which was back in May 16, 2009... So if you have a minecraft question ask me I should know the answer.(Also yeah i know about the time when i joined the forums... But for a while i was never social until like june of 2011... So i never bothered to make a minecraft forum account till like june... Because it would never get used.)

I doubt it, he quite likes to sit on his throne of our money and stuff his face with Swedish meatballs while Jeb does all the work.

I agree... I mean. He made a large portion of the game, but it does seem that Jeb is actually doing most of the work now. I check Notch's twitter every now and again, and there is barely anything about the game. But if you check Jeb's... Its either the game or his lady interest.

well he Is head coder. Meaning that most of the stuff he does dosnt actually involve coming yp with idea's, but actually coding them so that they can be implamented in game.
